Eating & Body Image Check-In, Free 22-Question Self-Reflection
A self-reflection across 5 domains: body image, restrictive eating, binge eating, compensatory behaviors, and food preoccupation. 22 questions, instant summary. This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis.
What is the Eating & Body Image Check-In?
The Eating & Body Image Check-In looks at five areas that, together, describe how food and body image show up in daily life: body image (how you see and feel about your body), restrictive eating (patterns of limiting or tightly controlling what and how much you eat), binge eating (episodes where eating feels out of control), compensatory behaviors (things done afterward to 'make up for' eating), and food preoccupation (how much mental space food, weight, and body concerns take up day to day). Answering 22 short questions gives you a snapshot across all five, rather than a single overall score that flattens very different experiences into one number.

Some worry about weight, some dieting, and some body dissatisfaction are extremely common — especially under stress, around major life changes, or simply living in a culture that constantly comments on bodies and food. That kind of concern usually comes and goes and doesn't take over daily life. A clinically significant pattern looks different: it persists over weeks or months, causes real distress, and starts to interfere with eating regularly, socializing, work or school, or physical health. The check-in is built to help you notice where you sit on that spectrum, not to sort you into 'fine' or 'disordered.'
This tool is not a diagnosis and can't replace an evaluation by a doctor or a therapist who specializes in eating disorders — only a clinician can assess for conditions like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder. If your results suggest a pattern worth attention, Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) is one of the most evidence-based treatments available, and organizations like NEDA (the National Eating Disorders Association, US) and Beat (beateatingdisorders.org.uk, UK) offer information, screening tools, and paths to support that go well beyond what any online questionnaire can provide.
